How incredibly awesome you must be feeling! I was just writing down my PLAN for when I'll be reaching goal. Let's see if I can make it. I'm starting the weightl loss before the surgery, too. I just can't figure out how to change the weight on my ticker. lol
Good luck on your journey. You change the weight on your ticker by updating your number in Health Tracker. I planned goals every 20 pounds...kept me going with so much to lose.

I've changed the number in Health Tracker, but it doesn't show up on my ticker. Oh well.
Oh! It finally worked! Thank you!!!
My graph has a few plateaus in it. It sure wasn't constant. You can see my monthly totals in my sig. Usually, it would be down a bit...then up while my body adjusted. Then a bit down. My best advice, be sure to keep measurements. Stalls ALWAYS result in measurement loss as long as you stay on program. In the beginning, right after surgery, it was a pound a day down...then it slowed to half a pound... then really stair stepped. I'll have to post the graph later.
